Zechariah 4

1 Then the messenger who talked with me came again and woke me, as someone who is woken from sleep.

Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami ni bout a tho teh ka ip e pâhlaw e patetlah kai hah na pâhlaw.

2 He said to me, ‘What do you see?’ I said, ‘I see a candlestick, all of gold, with a bowl on its top, and seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on its top,

Nang bangmaw na hmu telah na pacei navah kai ni ka khet nah sui hoi sak e hmaiimkhok ka hmu. Sui hmaiimkhok e asawi vah satui hlaam buet touh, hmaiim sari touh, satui hlaam hoi hmaiim sari touh patawp e khom sari touh ao.

3 and two olive trees next to it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on its left side.’

Satui hlaam e aranglah olivekung buet touh, avoilah olivekung buet touh, hmai khawm ka ramuk e olivekung kahni touh ao.

4 I said to the messenger who talked with me, ‘What are these, my lord?’

Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami hanelah ka bawipa hete hnonaw heh bangnaw ne telah ka pacei nah,

5 Then the messenger who talked with me answered, ‘Don’t you know what these are?’ And I said. ‘No, my lord.’

Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami ni, hete hnonaw heh bangnaw maw tie na panuek hoeh maw telah na pacei navah, kai ni ka panuek hoeh ka bawipa telah ka ti pouh.

6 He said to me, ‘This is the message of the Lord regarding Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts,

Kalvantami ni hai Zerubbabel koe ka tho e Cathut e lawk teh, hete hno teh ransahu lahoi nahoeh, hnosakthainae lahoi hai nahoeh, kaie Muitha lahoi doeh tho ti telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.

7 will I make the great mountain before Zerubbabel a plain. He will bring forth the top stones with shoutings of, “Grace, grace, to it.”’

Oe, monpui, nang teh bangtelamaw, Zerubbabel e a hmalah kânging e hmuen lah na o han. Taminaw ni na lungma a naseh. Lungmanae awm naseh telah a hram teh, hote bawi ni im takin a som vah talung a pacoung han.

8 Moreover this message of the Lord came to me:

BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout ka tho e teh,

9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands will also finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.

Zerubbabel ni hete impui e khomdu a ung toe. Ahni niyah a cum han. ransahu BAWIPA ni kai heh nangmouh onae koe na patoun e hah na panue awh han.

10 For who has despised the day of small things? They will rejoice, and will see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. (The seven lamps are the eyes of the Lord that search all around the world.)

Hno kathoengca saknae hnin heh apinimaw noutna laipalah ao han. Zerubbabel e a kut dawk bangnuenae rui ao e hah, hote sari touh ni a hmu awh torei teh, a lunghawi awh han. Hote sari touh teh talai van atunglah akalah ka yawng e BAWIPA e a mit naw doeh telah a ti.

11 Again I asked, ‘What are these two olive trees on the right side of the candlestick and on its left side?’

Kai ni hai hmaiimkhok kahni touh e avoilah aranglah kaawm e olivekung kahni touh hah bangtelamaw telah thoseh,

12 Again, ‘What are these two branches of the olive trees, which are pouring out the golden oil through the two golden pipes?’

Satui racinae sui tuilo kahni touh hoi amamae satui awinae olivekung kahni touh haiyah bangne telah ka pacei navah,

13 He answered me, ‘Don’t you now what these are?’ And I said, ‘No, my lord.’

Kalvantami ni hote akangnaw na panuek awh hoeh na maw telah na pacei nah kai ni ka panuek hoeh telah ka ti pouh.

14 Then he explained, ‘They are the two anointed ones who attend the Lord of all the earth.’

Kalvantami ni hai hote akungnaw teh talai kaukkung bawi e a hmalah kangdout e satui awi e tami kahni touh doeh a ti.
